    if you even have to ask the question, it’s a gimmick. Musk should be putting all energy into flying drone cars like the Jetson One. He won’t though.

    Says Apple – total gimmicks and at least 5 years later on technology.

    A car that won’t fit the needs of most consumers (rich or poor), let alone not that beneficial for the environment. I don’t see any point in mass-producing this car. You can tell it’s going to be a costly ownership, not including the price tag.

      @landshass2849 I think it won’t fit the needs of ANY consumer.

    Let’s face it, if it cames from Elon Musk, it’s a gimmick, marketing ploy or a way to get another grant without actually being able to produce a marketable product that anyone that doesn’t have several million a year income can afford.
    There are real flying cars out there now that are marketable.

    • @12user-u5h

      @thundersrealm9766 You are right. There are no reusable boosters. No EVs as well.

    If your watching this, you are stupid! i paused the vid to write this.

    28 sec flying bomb, stock market hype, same as the previous roadster

  8. @seanpatrick616

    October 30, 2026 at 10:35 am

    Hopefully the overall concept design is for a lunar vehicle and Elon was just having fun with the technology because he could.

    To answer the question on your thumbnail, yes.

  10. @CULLINDON

    October 30, 2026 at 12:07 pm

    wow they ‘invented’ a drone – geniuis!

    The McMurtry did this years ago.

    • @KP-xi4bj

      October 30, 2026 at 2:38 pm

      You mean last year, not “years ago”.

    • @chetwitkowski6622

      October 30, 2026 at 2:41 pm

      @KP-xi4bj6 or 1/2 dozen. But the research they did took years. But when they made their car hang upside down, that was last year and this year is almost over.

    • @chetwitkowski6622

      October 30, 2026 at 2:42 pm

      @KP-xi4bj it’s probably never gonna be street legal anyways.

    • @KP-xi4bj

      October 30, 2026 at 2:53 pm

      @chetwitkowski6622 Years mean more than one. Last year is one year.

    • @KP-xi4bj

      October 30, 2026 at 2:53 pm

      @chetwitkowski6622 Doesn’t mean you cannot use it on private property or at a racetrack.

    question , why they didn’t make the show on daylight ??

  13. @118Columbus

    October 30, 2026 at 1:13 pm

    This is not a commercial product. It was just for show. This is entertainment not a business.

  14. @VaxisPraxis

    October 30, 2026 at 2:06 pm

    It’s a hype gimmick

  15. @KP-xi4bj

    October 30, 2026 at 2:38 pm

    Suction system to provide downforce and a vacuum cleaner to clean the dirty road at the same time. It’s a win-win situation! LOL

  16. @rzorrilla52

    October 30, 2026 at 3:27 pm

    What a waste of design engineering time.
    I guess it will be useful in a circus show.

  17. @BryceLovesTech

    October 30, 2026 at 3:36 pm

    I just bought my second Tesla, and I love electric cars, but this is absolutely ridiculous. He should be making a electric van or a entry-level electric car, or even a better looking pick up truck. Instead, he makes this circus side show

  18. @JörgLippmann

    October 30, 2026 at 4:22 pm

    Gimmick for idiots.

  19. @oliverronquillo1971

    October 30, 2026 at 5:03 pm

    You guys do know you guys are rhe villians? Elon has saved more people than you guys and the amount of delusion you main stream medias have is insane.

  20. @nooahchannel

    October 30, 2026 at 5:19 pm

    Tesla should go bankrupt. Look at the Cyber truck. Horrible car, horrible CEO.

    100% gimmick we didn’t even see the wheels turn at all
